Aaron Nesmith Out with Ankle Injury

Aaron Nesmith has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to an ongoing left ankle sprain, marking his 35th consecutive game missed. He has only played in the first six games of the season, and while he has participated in 5-on-5 drills during practices, no timetable for his return has been established. Fantasy managers should be aware that his absence will continue to impact the Pacers, with Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin expected to take on increased roles. The team remains cautious, emphasizing the need for Nesmith to regain his conditioning before returning to play. His injury has been a significant setback for both him and the Pacers this season.
